Aging-associated changes in microRNA expression profile of internal anal sphincter smooth muscle: Role of microRNA-133a. [PDF]

, 2016
A comprehensive genomic and proteomic, computational, and physiological approach was employed to examine the (previously unexplored) role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as regulators of internal anal sphincter (IAS) smooth muscle contractile phenotype and basal ...

A multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of the use of an anti‐adhesion barrier for diverting ileostomy on the multidimensional workload in minimally invasive surgery for rectal cancer (YCOG 2005: The ADOBARRIER study)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter, single‐blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the multidimensional workload of the first operator during ileostomy closure using the SURG‐TLX between groups with and without the use of the spray‐type anti‐adhesion material during diverting ileostomy construction.

Muscle Precursor Cells for the Restoration of Irreversibly Damaged Sphincter Function

Cell Transplantation, 2012
Multiple modalities, including injectable bulking agents and surgery, have been used to treat stress urinary incontinence. However, none of these methods is able to fully restore normal striated sphincter muscle function.

A Scoping Review of the Oral Treatment Options for the Management of Detrusor Sphincter Dyssynergia. [PDF]

Neurourol Urodyn
ABSTRACT Background Adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction may be associated with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD). Given the sparsity of the literature and the absence of official guidelines regarding the use of oral medications in the management of DSD, this scoping review aims to critically assess the available evidence to guide future

Super Subtotal Gastrectomy: A Novel Reconstruction Concept for Upper Gastric Cancer That Preserves the Fornix

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We developed a novel super subtotal gastrectomy (SSTG) technique for upper‐third gastric cancer near the esophagogastric junction. This method preserves the gastric fornix, a major site of ghrelin secretion, while maintaining an oral margin beyond the esophageal junction. SSTG offers a potential solution for reducing postoperative complications such as

Inter-pulse intervals of external anal sphincter surface EMG signals recorded from colorectal cancer patients [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Intervals between electrical pulses generated by the electrical activity produced by the motor units of an external anal sphincter were studied at four time intervals during multimodal rectal cancer treatment. Probability distribution function of such intervals does not exhibit significant differences for all considered time intervals. It is found that

Prognostic Value of Serum Insulin‐Like Growth Factor‐1 in Patients With Anal Fistula Treated by Incision‐Thread‐Drawing Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
IGF‐1 levels above 174.9 ng/mL were associated with better wound healing and lower postoperative inflammation. Higher IGF‐1 levels correlated with improved anal function at 7 and 14 days post‐surgery. ABSTRACT Background Anal fistula is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal tract between the anal canal and perianal skin, often leading to ...

Effects of Laryngeal Restriction on Pharyngeal Peristalsis and Biomechanics: Clinical Implications [PDF]

, 2016
To date, rehabilitative exercises aimed at strengthening the pharyngeal muscles have not been developed due to the inability to successfully overload and fatigue these muscles during their contraction, a necessary requirement for strength training.
